Aulani ABD excursions

Has anyone done any of the Aulani excursions or plan to this spring or summer? I'm tentatively planning a Hawaii trip for fall break in Oct and I'm not sure yet if I'll include Oahu. But I am tempted to spend a few days at Aulani and might want to add an ABD excursion or two. If any of you experienced ABD folks have or plan to take any of the these excursion I would love to hear how it compares with your past ABDs. Disney Parks Blog posted this video of the fantastic Mike Cooke describing the Aulani adventures.

It's not tentative any longer. Costco has a very nice package at the Grand Hyatt Kauai, so we'll be there for 5 days. But first we'll spend 4 days at Aulani. If we decide to do an ABD excursion, I'll let you all know how that goes. I want to take DS to see the USS Arizona and also want to enjoy all the resort has to offer, so with just 4 days we probably won't be doing more than 1 ABD activity, if any. We won't be there until October, so it will be awhile before I can give my report.

We are heading to Aulani a month before you and we are considering one of the AbD tours. We've been to Hawaii many times and have already seen the normal sights so I'm thinking AbD would give me that special something I haven't experienced there.

If we go, I'll report back to you!!! But I agree, since your stay is so limited, I'd go to the Arizona memorial and the Polynesian Cultural Center before anything else.

I hope this CM was wrong but I called Aulani this week to inquire about the ABD excursions for when we go in September and she told me that they had been suspended. I'm hoping she was misinformed. Anyone else know anything about this?
